Hasselhoff told TV Line: "I told everybody that I'm not going back to television unless you give me something drastic. So when they said, 'You're a porn king famous for having a big c**k', I said, 'I'm ready!'"

Hasselhoff also revealed that he enjoyed working with the rest of the show's stars, saying: "The cast treated me with amazing respect, because I think they all grew up watching Knight Rider.

"I got to work the most with Charlie Hunnam and Mark Boone Junior, who plays Bobby... But the whole thing was a blessing, because it's a cool show and I got to hang out with one of the coolest guys ever, Ron Perlman. I had a blast!"
